Hi! I’m Lisa from Los Angeles. You might know me from traveling, work as a personal chef, or Big Brother 26. This week I am volunteering as an English teacher in Cambodia in Siem Reap at

‘New Dream Cambodian Children Organization’

Along with this weeks international volunteers we are a team of: Alice from Belgium, Tom from England, Johan from the Netherlands and we want to make a difference together.

This organizations mission is to provide free, quality education to underprivileged children, empowering them with the skills and confidence to thrive.

Today I taught a syllabus about the future and these kids have dreams to be a doctor, a chef, an animator and an engineer. Supplies and resources are limited, and this school solely relies on donation to support their mission.

Little things I’ve noticed are they are low on paper to print out the syllabus, they don’t have enough teachers, markers for white board and coloring are out of ink and the soccer ball for the yard is worn out.

Due to the recent war, volunteers, food supplies and funds have been limited and I would love your help in bringing in money to create an impact that will go towards feeding these children and helping them learn English to better their future.

The kids used to be fed a meal every day, but due to lack of funds, they are only feed a meal once or twice a week at school, due to lack of funds.

These kids come from villages that are extremely impoverished some don’t have proper electricity and rely on candles or are malnourished because their families can’t afford enough food. But the joy and happiness and excitement to learn and play at this school that these kids have give hope to their future.

Any amount helps and I would love us to come together to make a difference in these children’s lives. Start your year with me by giving back!
